If you want to keep an animal in an urban area
keep it on a leash or fence in your yard.

Free roaming animals in an urban setting usually have a very very
short lifespan.

It's amazing how many people are needlessly cruel to animals.

Are you saying it is needlessly cruel to deal with a free roaming
animal in the country that is eating your stock? Killing something
quickly is not cruelty, as any farmer or rancher knows.

Steve




There's a big difference between killing an animal eating farm stock and
killing a pet because it's a nuisance.(urban settings,too,not farms)
We have people here advocating putting out rat poison,and other cruel
methods with the intent to kill or seriously injure a neighborhood pet.

"Pet" is just a word, Jim. It only has meaning to the owners, and the moment
they let their pet out the door unsupervised, the word loses all its
meaning. Now, it's just another animal.
